Book Chapter
Beyond Horatio’s Philosophy
2013
Overview
The discourse in the Western world on the possibilities of life on other worlds is as ancient as the philosophical tradition itself. Even to the present day the latest missions to Mars, aimed at the discovery of water and molecular evidence for the possibilities of life, excite the popular imagination at the same time that they challenge our notion of self and our place within the cosmos. Hamlet’s words to Horatio, after his first encounter with the ghost of his dead father, the king, ring true for us in preparation for our initial, and perhaps inevitable, encounter with the other.
